The silhouette cameo is the ultimate DIY machine. Like a home printer, it plugs into your pc or Mac with a simple USB cable. However, instead of printing it uses a small blade to cut paper, cardstock, vinyl, fabric, and other material up to 12 inches wide and 10 feet long. When the blade is replaced by a pen, the cameo will sketch instead of cut. It can be controlled from a computer or save your art to a USB and plug right into the cameo. With the included silhouette studio software, you're able to create and cut your own designs and use the fonts already installed on your computer. Includes one Silhouette CAMEO, USB cable, power cable, crosscutter, Silhouette Design Store trial subscription card, instruction manual, Silhouette Studio software CD, cutting mat, and blade.
